Hey ccc,

all 3DS are done, textures for above are at about 85%, all are in LOD format and added in F4Browse and LODeditor,

Many still needs to have textures applied in LODeditor (graphics are done), I need a shit load of help with LOD tweaking though, as in look thru's, DOF switches, and general cleaning up....

I need a TEAM to join me at 4F4 !!!!!!!, I will upload some small vidclips and the training tutorials and any updates in the meantime at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/4F4/

but untill i get the 666th.com back online - is there anybody who can host the vidclips in the meantime

excuse me, so you mean most models are ready in *TEXTURED* 3ds format? If so, pliz send me samples( textured 3ds and their skins, simple ground vehicle), i'd glad to have a look- and hope can do some help.

BTW, my 2c about your item list-
----------------------------------------
Mirage III CZ, RZ, EZ
( FF2 got IIIC and IIIE, what's difference among IIICZ RZ EZ? minor tweak can be done )

Mirage F1AZ, CZ (*** flyable WIP)
( i've posted a half-done mrgF1 on this board, take a look)

AN-26 ( similar to An24.?)

Mi-8 ( don't we have Mi8/Mi17 since SP3)

C-160 Transall ( in FF2 )

Mig 23ML ( two modelers working on mig23)

Mig 21bis and MF ( both in FF2 )

Mig 19 (pumpy's model already in FF2)

SU-22K ( whats difference from SU17/20- in FF2? )


Again, 3d stuff is the last thing to worry about, terrain/tile/campaign are always the priorities.

Rgeo ccc - please email me at gmcewan@namakwa.co.za so i can get yer address.

I have built this on FF2 by the way... some of the models required minor tweaking, and some just some record entry changes, as in C130B and H have different top speeds , weights etc. - so those are minor.

The F1 you see will be the main flyable a/c in the campaign, I am looking at making all other non related a/c as the f16 NOT available in the campaign in anyway.

>>>>> very minor indeed, some perf specs have been changed, minor lod changes to R version, BUT all have diff skins redone and are individually selactable in campaign. as in 2 CZ escorting on RZ

Mirage F1AZ, CZ (*** flyable WIP)
( i've posted a half-done mrgF1 on this board, take a look)

>>>> must look that up, I have some serious data and photos on this plane - on this saturday I am spending the entire day at THUNDERCITY Cape Town to photograph close up of entire cockpits on Bucc and F1AZ

Will be with an ex af officer to get the ramp start procedures etc

BIG requirement here, hence my new F1 3DS model is to get the 3D cockpit correct. This plane must be better quality than original F16 in Falcon 4 - some sreenies tomorrow,


AN-26 ( similar to An24.?)

>>>>>>not sure, did not waste time - just added one i had allready

Mi-8 ( don't we have Mi8/Mi17 since SP3)

>>>>>> rgeo, new skins, and new model

C-160 Transall ( in FF2 )

>>>>> new skins, spec changes

Mig 23ML ( two modelers working on mig23)

>>>>>> rgeo skins, this was the main OPFOR plane in Angola so it MUSt be a good flyable model

Mig 21bis and MF ( both in FF2 )

>>>>>> rgeo skins, got a VERY good Mig21bis model so i used that

Mig 19 (pumpy's model already in FF2)

>>>>>> must get in contact with him

SU-22K ( whats difference from SU17/20- in FF2? )

>>>>>> exactly - not a good model in FF2, replacing it
